Wacky Wednesday - Zombie Apocalypse

Hmmm... Let's see... what can we write about that has 2 words and starts with Z and A? I know Zombie Apocalypse!

I doubt that was the conversation that started this release... but I WISH I was in the room when this was pitched.

The CDC released on May 16th a topic under Emergency Preparedness and Response: Zombie Apocalypse. Now I am SURE this was a joke meant to get people thinking more about emergency preparedness... BUT this is the Center for Disease Control. Usually you want to be taken seriously...

or do you?

From my perspective, this is a great idea! It shows some innovation that is usually lacking in heavily bureaucratic organizations. I know that it is a joke (and hopefully you do as well), but it gets traffic to the site and might bring out interest in more realistic emergency prep.

And for those of you that think this is real... get your kit together, because it will help with other emergencies too!
